Teams and rollups

02

ONE POOLED SCORE PER TEAM

Celebrate in channel

03

CELEBRATE IN-CHANNEL

Peer recognition becomes a visible, high-energy habit tied to your values and easy for everyone to see, cheer, and remember.

Your Values Aren't
Just Words

Make your company values and traditions more visible, not more work. Every shout-out reinforces the habits you care about and gives you signal on how culture is actually showing up.

01
Culture visibility

From Paper to Practice

Most companies have values with no way to see them in action. KaBoon brings them into Slack, where work actually happens. Tie 💥 merits to shout-outs for workshops, impact days, events, or innovation, and values become tangible, visible, and celebrated.

A Culture That Never Gets Old

Make your company culture feel alive in Slack.
Fresh and themed seasons turn everyday recognition into something your team actually looks forward to.

Seasonal resets
Mechanic 01
Seasonal Resets

The same three people dominating forever? Not here. When you call a new Season, scores zero out, points reset, and every team gets a fresh shot at the throne. Run them weekly, quarterly, or whenever the energy needs a reset, you decide.

What a new season does
Leaderboards and 💥 merits totals start from zero.
Create new teams and change themes whenever you want.
Every team lines up on equal footing when the clock resets.
Finished seasons stay in history for admins, reporting, and bragging rights.

Change Themes

Swap the theme whenever a new season kicks off. Same team, different adventure. Your Slack stays unpredictable in the best possible way.

Season themes

TURN COWORKERS INTO TEAMS

Individual recognition, joint success. Each award adds 💥 merits toward a shared team total, so teammates celebrate your wins because every point helps the whole group climb — not just your own score.

MERITS FLOWS TO THE TEAM

When someone earns 💥 merits, their team climbs too. One pooled score per side, so recognition lifts the whole group, not just an individual tally.

Competition

02

FRIENDLY COMPETITION

Teams race on a live leaderboard in Slack. High energy and celebratory, with healthy rivalry that keeps people engaged without turning recognition into extra work.

Collaborative

03

SHARED IDENTITY

Everyone belongs to a team, which gives people outside your day-to-day squad something to rally around. Stronger collaboration, inside jokes, and pride in how teams show up together.

Rewards Your Team Actually Wants

Turn on an optional reward layer: a catalog of individual and collaborative prizes, with 💥 merits converting to spendable boons. Turn recognition into something tangible.

Reward type
Individual

One person spends their boons to claim a prize: lunch with leadership, merch, time off, or anything else you dream up. Set a boon price and optional stock so scarce rewards stay fair.

Season 💥 merits from recognition converts to spendable boons at a ratio you control, defaulting to 10 💥 merits per boon. Team members earn boons as they receive praise, then spend them in the Boon Shop.

If You Can Describe It, You Can Offer It

KaBoon does not ship a fixed prize list. Admins create rewards in plain language. Serious perks, silly dares, or causes the team cares about and choose which ones are live each season.
